Pausanias Description of Greece 1.19.1

[1]
  Close to the temple of Olympian Zeus is a statue of the Pythian Apollo. There is further a sanctuary of Apollo surnamed Delphinius. The story has it that when the temple was finished with the exception of the roof Theseus arrived in the city, a stranger as yet to everybody. When he came to the temple of the Delphinian, wearing a tunic that reached to his feet and with his hair neatly plaited, those who were building the roof mockingly inquired what a marriageable virgin was doing wandering about by herself. The only answer that Theseus made was to loose, it is said, the oxen from the cart hard by, and to throw them higher than the roof of the temple they were building.

[1] Close to the temple [ nāos] of Olympian Zeus is a statue [ agalma] of the Pythian Apollo. There is also a sanctuary [ hieron] of Apollo surnamed Delphinios. They say that when the temple was finished, with the exception of the roof, Theseus arrived in the city, unknown as yet to everybody. When he came to the temple of the Delphinian, wearing a tunic [ khitōn] that reached to his feet and with his hair neatly plaited [ plekesthai], those who were building the roof by way of mockery [ khleuasiā] inquired why a girl [ parthénos] who was in the right season [ hōrā] for getting married was wandering around all by herself. The only answer that Theseus made was to unyoke, it is said, the oxen from a wagon [ hamaxa] close by, and to throw it higher than the roof of the temple they were building.
